cciss: Fix scsi tape io with more than 255 scatter gather elements
The total number of scatter gather elements in the CISS command used by the scsi tape code was being cast to a u8, which can hold at most 255 scatter gather elements. It should have been cast to a u16. Without this patch the command gets rejected by the controller since the total scatter gather count did not add up to the right value resulting in an i/o error.
